Statick Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Injury report: Robinson plans to be ready for playoff game2:58 pm January 2, 2013, by D. Orlando LedbetterBy CARROLL ROGERSFLOWERY BRANCH — Cornerback Dunta Robinson is in the league’s concussion protocol after taking a blow to the head Sunday against Tampa, but he was encouraged Wednesday by his progress and thinks he’ll be back by the Jan. 13 playoff game.“Nothing too serious,” Robinson said. “I’ve had a lot worse before, in 2010 (against the Eagles), when they had to help me walk off the field. So I’m pretty good. I should be back by next week, ready to practice and ready to roll. I won’t be out long at all.”Robinson was injured in the first quarter on Sunday after lowering his head to tackle Bucs running back Doug Martin, but he was able to walk off the field on his own.Falcons coach Mike Smith did not want to talk specifically about any injuries but had said Monday he thinks both Robinson and defensive end John Abraham (ankle sprain) would be available on Jan. 13. The Falcons are also hoping safety William Moore can return after missing four games with a hamstring injury but he has not yet returned to practice.

FalconFanForLife Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Good news for us all. But man Dunta has got to stop leading with his head so much when he tackles. I LOVE the guy's ferocity, but PLEASE USE YOUR SHOULDER MORE !!!Except for losing Grimes earlier, we have been very lucky with injuries overall. We lost a few key guys for a couple games, but overall we have been very blessed this season.We sure need ALL our starters for the playoffs.

dmite Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 What in **** happened to Moore's hamstring?!? I know it can be a lingering injury, but good lord.Hamstrings take a long time to heal and one slip up could re-injure it and the process starts over. I can understand the hesitation the training staff is having. You want to make sure it's good to go before you get started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Negatorris Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 What in **** happened to Moore's hamstring?!? I know it can be a lingering injury, but good lord.Hamstrings take longer to heal then people think. And also, I think WillyMo has been fine for a couple of weeks now, Smitty has just let him rest to cut any chances of re-aggravating it.

PokerSteve Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 thats good to hear, anybody know Moore's status?Since he still hasn't even returned to practice, even if he's finally physically able to play he'll be rusty, slow and out of shape to play at a high level.

TheTourettesGuy Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Dunta robinson is not all that important when we have McClain and Owens playing at a surprisingly decent level.. The one that really hurts is Abe, he's the falcons only elite pass rusher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
